Pros

There are still a lot of good, talented people working for SPARTA. Some of the "small business" and "high-end technical support" still exists in pockets.

Cons

Parsons, Inc, the large company that just bought SPARTA, really has no background in the type of work SPARTA does (did?). With increased belt tightening to presumably increase Parsons profit from its purchase (obviously well within the rights of Parsons), the good talent is starting to move to companies that have fairer compensation plans.

Pros

Lots of free ice cream and nice offices. Admins seemed very nice if a little undereducated. Plenty of parking and a nice area to walk.

Cons

Management was pig-headed and difficult. Weekly reamings were part of the job I guess as my boss found it necessary to scream, curse and degrade me at every opportunity. Never in front of the customer mind you, who adored me, but behind closes doors???....whew! It would make a sailor blush. Security was EXTREMELY lax. Kids were there nearly every afternoon and on weekends. Running up and down the halls and generaly disturbing everyone. Opportunities for education and travel were non-existent, just don't even ask because they don't have and won't have the money. If you aren't already educated when you go to work here you WON'T be learning anything new.
